Dating from 1815 Billaud-Simon has been one of the great domaines of Chablis. It was founded in 1815 by Charles Louis Noël Billaud upon his return from the Napoleonic Wars. He planted vines on his family holdings which were later expanded through the marriage of his relative Jean Billaud to Renée Simon in the 1930s. Today, Billaud-Simon’s premier and grand Cru bottlings are in the very top echelon of the region.

Antonio Scala Ciro Blanco 2021
100% Greco, from a 2 hectare vineyard located in Cirò (Crotone district). Spicy, fresh aromas of peach, quince and honeysuckle hold much allure. The palate is white spice, salty, fresh and focused. This is an irresistible example of the native Greco grape.
"I think greco bianco (unrelated to Campania’s greco di Tufo) is potentially one of Italy’s best native grape varieties." - Ian d’Agata
Rivolta Coda Di Volpe Sannio Taburno 2017
93 pts – “Peach, apricot and minerals on the deep, complex nose. Then rich, dense and tactile, with flavors similar to the aromas on the long, ripe, stony finish. Another smashingly good Coda di Volpe wine by La Rivolta, an estate that has a real knack for this variety and a long history of making outstanding wines with it.”
– Ian d’Agata (Vinous)
